“How about those Tigers. I am so proud of our team and coaches. It was not going to be easy, we played a great second half. We held them to 21 points, which is (almost) impossible. We scored 21 points in the second half, we did a lot of great things in the fourth quarter.”
“It was a big one (team victory) because it was obviously for a championship. Being able to respond like that in that type of environment, I thought we just settled down a bit. I thought the offense in the first half was a bit erratic.”
